Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

This is a colo-to-linode migration project. The colo box is under WHM and cPanel. Linode is going to be a naked apache box.

1. Configure new linode with apache, php, mysql, phpmyadmin, (possibly) a control panel such as webmin and/or usermin, Subversion server, an ftp server, an ssh service, other secondary software (more on that below in #2).

2. Migrate from a co-located box about a dozen fairly uniform websites. Test to make sure all websites run adequately on the new server, should there be incompatibilities, additional software required, make a recommendation whether to correct the website or update (up- or down- grade) linode server software. And, of course, subsequently implement software adjustment or installation.

My expectation is to find someone with at least ten years of diverse *nix experience, sharp, responsible, meticulous and self-motivated.

Must be US-based, sorry I can't do overseas for this one.

Propose your rate and indicate a ballpark time estimate of how long it might take you to do this job. Not expecting precision, but some idea (hours? days? weeks?) would be much appreciated. If you prefer a lump sum arrangement that would work for me as well. As you see I'm pretty flexible :^)

My name is Philip Wernersbach, and I am an experienced Unix Environment Specialist, and I know everything about Linux, from the kernel up. I even have my own real time Linux distribution named Pack4Linux. I have extensive real world experience with setting up Linux boxes, including servers. I can do this project in a weekend. Please email me at philip <dot> wernersbach <at> gmail <dot> com so that I can send you my resume and discuss this project further.
